Synopsis
James Bond (Roger Moore) must foil the plot of a diabolical scientist trying to control the world computer market by destroying California's Silicon Valley. Christopher Walken is enjoyable to watch as the evil madman and the film also features the trademark Bond bevy of beauties, including Tanya Roberts and Grace Jones. A VIEW TO A KILL also features a title song by Duran Duran and marks the last time Moore would play Bond. Digitally restored.

3.0 out of 5 stars Workmanlike swansong for the Moore era of Bond, 14 Nov 2007
By Mr. Stephen Kennedy "skenn1701a" (Doha, Qatar) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
In this, Roger Moore's last shot of the Walther PPK, his age is showing, but this is at least balanced out by some satisfying set pieces, decent villains and efficient direction by John Glen - by this time a pro at putting Fleming's world on the big screen.
The plot wanders in a rather convoluted way from Bond investigating a stolen microchip design, to the shady world of horse race-fixing, to a diabolical plot to destroy Silicon Valley in order to monopolize the world's microchip production.
Moore is too old for the role, but it has to be said he gives a good go at it for a 57 year old. Even his costar is the somewhat wrinkly Patrick Macnee.... If the security of the country or world really relied on these two, who are clearly about to start receiving a pension, there would be little hope for us all.
The action scenes on the other hand are well executed by Glen and his longstanding second unit director Arthur Wooster. The jump off the Eiffel Tower, the half-car chase in Paris, the fire in City hall and subsequent fire truck chase, a thrilling deadly racehorse chase and a well put together fight on the Golden Gate bridge.. all are seamlessly done and worthy of Bond.
With the usual professional stuntwork then, it is the love scenes that become embarrassing to watch, never more so than when a leathery Moore is `seducing' Grace Jones... still in her own league when it comes to sheer `oddness', even now. This is offset by a cracking (and frequently cackling) villain in the form of Christopher Walken. He does not exactly imbue the role with depth, but at least gives it an offbeat quirkiness that helps us buy into him being a psychopath. Tanya Roberts fills the shoes (or really, the high heels) of the standard girl-in-distress-to-be-rescued-by-Bond role, without bringing anything to the show we have not seen before.
And that is probably the crux of it - everything is done incredibly efficiently with only a few missteps (that Beach Boys song gag in the pre-titles sequence - ghastly!), such that it is hard to find fault the movie. Equally though, there are few moments where any one, or any scene really shines, and the overall memory is of a fitting swansong to Moore's tenure as 007 rather than a standout movie on its own merit.

Extras are lavish - not just the Special Edition extras, but a couple of additional deleted scenes and alternative angles or extended scenes. Sir Roger Moore has added a new commentary which reveals more on his thoughts on getting too old for the part, and there is a vintage (and rather dull) Film '85 location report on the movie which adds little.
Surround sound is excellent, adding to some of the action scenes and off camera action, and picture is absolutely spotless and sharp.
All in all, a terrific package for a movie that has all the Bond elements intact, even if it is not an outstanding entry into the series. 7 /10, which I round down to 3 stars because it is just a little pedestrian.

4.0 out of 5 stars "She Must Take A Lot Of Vitamins!", 30 Jun 2006
By C. M. Gelderd "Intrepid Movie Fan" (Bury, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great addition to the Bond saga, and a fitting farewell to the greatest Bond of all, Roger Moore. The story tells about how psycotic industrialist Max Zorin(Christopher Walken) and his glamarous sidekick May Day (Grace Jones) plan to cause global destruction to the environment and economy by way of microchips and large explosions! The gadgets are fun, the stunt work is great (Eiffel Tower jump anyone?) and the supporting cast are on fine form, with a juciy role for Mr.Walken as always. With a rousing theme tune edging into the 1980s, Bond is back and still packing the punches!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Call me James!", 16 Jul 2006
By F. Ward "Ward" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ignore all the miserable bond critics slating this because Sean Connery still isn't Bond - This is Roger at his finest. Eyebrows in high gear, bloke from the Avengers, Christopher Walken and Duran Duran soundtrack. Doesn't get better!!! Double o Heaven
